You thinking of moving Jeannine? ::)

I couldn't think of it right now.   Too many memories.  Wouldn't know where to go.

A few actual "things" which reminded me of good times I have had. Maybe a postcard of somewhere I enjoyed visiting, a pressed flower of same, that kind of thing. Stuff that weighs very little, but means a lot!

Hi Jeannine... would have to be

* my grandchildren, who give me so much fun
* my sons, daughters & sons in law, who I'm really proud of
* my wife, who, having spent 33 years putting up with me deserves me looking after her

Though after totting up the airfares for that lot maybe I'd stay put!

The OH, my dog and all of our photos/keepsakes.

Everything else can be replaced (assuming there's some money to replace it of course (in my case unfortunately there isn't!!)).

Ive moved many times in this country and only brought personal effects, never furniture, crockery ect

I guess if I emigrated it would be exactly same.......................except now I have a hubby, dogs and puddy tats. So with their baggage it wouldnt be travelling light ::)

I guess I'll stay put as well ;D

I've done this before......things you can't get in the country you're moving too e.g. when moving from NZ to UK I loaded up with Sunshine clothes pegs ...better than any I've ever bought here! Stuffed my face for several days with Tamarillo's  and Kumara

From the UK to NZ.....I'd have to take Ikea, the Lake District and Edinburgh! For that the UK could have Auckland in return ;D

Seriously, Family photo's, my sewing machine and music collection and my two boys......but they'd be happy to go anyway might be different when they leave home and get married though...oopps I forgot my husband...ssshh! don't tell him.....add him on quick though his Mum is not going to like that.

I did move two years ago and took literaly everything.  Seemed like a good idea at the time  ::).  Used lots of the stuff but have an amazing amount of 'why did I bring this'.  The loft are of the barn will be bedrooms, husband got tools in all the other areas.  Now insisted that he has to  build a cubby hole room to home the things that I want to keep i.e. photos, spare towles bedding, things from our childhoods etc.  Driving over with a VW polo stuffed to the hilt with ??? and two cats was one heck of an experience.
